Skill Development based on Modular Employable Skills (MES)

Background

The need for giving emphasis on the Skill Development, especially for the

less educated, poor and out of school youth has been highlighted in various forums.

The skill level and educational attainment of the work force determines the

productivity, income levels as well as the adaptability of the working class in

changing environment. Large percentage of population in India is living below

poverty line. One of the important causes is lower percentage of skilled persons in

the workforce

The skill development at present is taking place mostly in the informal way,

i.e. persons acquire skill at the work-place when they help their parents, relatives

and employers etc. Such persons do not have a formal certificate and thus earn

lower wages and are exploited by employers. They have come through informal

system due to socio-economic circumstances of the family and the compulsions of

earning a livelihood rather than attending a formal course. While their productivity is

low, their contribution to the national GDP cannot be ignored. If the country can

create a system of certification which not only recognizes their skills but also

provides education and training in a mode that suits their economic compulsions, it

will not only benefit the workforce to earn a decent living but also contribute to the

national economy by better productivity of this workforce.

Another related problem to be tackled is large number of students drop outs

(About 63% of the school students drop out at different stages before reaching

Class-X).

Frame work for Skill Development based on ‘Modular Employable Skills (MES)’

Very few opportunities for skill development are available for the above

referred groups (out of school youth & existing workers especially in the informal

sector). Most of the existing Skill Development programmes are long term in nature.

Poor and less educated persons can not afford long term training programmes due

to higher entry qualifications, opportunity cost etc. Therefore, a new frame work for

Skill Development for the Informal Sector has been evolved by the DGET to address

to the above mentioned problems. The key features of the new frame work for

skill development are:

Demand driven Short term training courses based on modular

employable skills decided in consultation with Industry

Flexible delivery mechanism (part time, weekends, full time)

Different levels of programmes (Foundation level as well as skill

upgradation) to meet demands of various target groups

Central Government will facilitate and promote training while Vocational

Training (VT) Providers under the Govt. and Private Sector will provide

training

Optimum utilisation of existing infrastructure to make training cost

effective.

Testing of skills of trainees by independent assessing bodies who would

not be involved in conduct of the training programme, to ensure that it is

done impartially.

Testing & certification of prior learning (skills of persons acquired

informally)

The Short Term courses would be based on „Modular Employable Skills (MES)‟.

The concept for the MES is :

Identification of „minimum skills set‟ which is sufficient to get an

employment in the labour market.

It allows skills up-gradation, multi-skilling, multi entry and exit, vertical

mobility and life long learning opportunities in a flexible manner.


4

It also allows recognition of prior learning (certification of skills acquired

informally) effectively.

The modules in a sector when grouped together could lead to a

qualification equivalent to National Trade Certificate or higher.

Courses could be available from level 1 to level 3 in different vocations

depending upon the need of the employer organisations.

MES would benefit different target groups like :

o Workers seeking certification of their skills acquired informally

o workers seeking skill upgradation

o early school drop-outs and unemployed

o previously child labour and their familly

Age of participants

The minimum age limit for persons to take part in the scheme is 14 years but

there is no upper age limit.

Curriculum Development Process

Following procedure is used for developing course curricula

• Identification of Employable Skills set in a sector based on division of work in the

labour market.

• Development of training modules corresponding to skills set identified so as to

provide training for specific & fit for purpose

• Organization of modules in to a Course Matrix indicating vertical and horizontal

mobility. The course matrix depicts pictorially relation among various modules,

pre requisites for higher level modules and how one can progress from one level

to another.

• Development of detailed curriculum and vetting by a trade committee and by the

NCVT


5

(Close involvement of Employers Organizations, State Governments, experts,

vocational training providers and other stake holders is ensured at each stage).

Development of Soft Skills/ Core Competencies

Soft skills refer to a cluster of personality traits, social graces, facility with language,

and personal habits that make someone a good employee and a compatible co-

worker. Soft skills are also sometimes referred to as employability skills, generic

skills, key or core competencies. Soft skills complement hard skills, which are the

technical requirements of a job.

Soft Skills are integral to workplace competency and, as such, must be considered

in the design, customisation, delivery and assessment of vocational training

programmes in an integrated and holistic way, as represented diagrammatically

below.

Soft skills are very important in business. Soft skills are now recognised as key for

making businesses more profitable and better places to work. Increasingly,

companies aren't just assessing their current staff and future recruits on their

technical skills but also on a whole host of soft skills. Especially, Service economy

and the ascendance of work teams in large organizations put a new premium on

people skills and relationship-building. It is essential to be technically sound, but

one should also have the ability to convey the idea to the masses in the simplest

possible manner.

Hence, systematic efforts should be made to develop soft skills during the training

programme. Positive attitudes have to be developed in the trainees by properly

guiding them and setting up examples of good attitudes by demonstrated behaviors

and by the environment provided during training.

Some important soft skills / core competencies to be developed are:

1. Punctuality, discipline and honesty

2. Cordial relationship and Cooperation with co-workers and team Work

3. Positive attitude and behavior

4. Work ethics and dependability

5. Self esteem and confidence

6. Self-motivation and initiative

7. Flexibility/ adaptability

8. Communication Skills

9. Respect for rules and regulations

10. Concern for quality

11. Concern for health and hygiene

12. Responsibility and accountability

13. Care of equipment and tools

14. Safety consciousness and safe working practices

15. Learn continuously

16. Concern for environment and waste disposal

17. Ability to bear stress and work under pressure


7

Following competencies should also be developed during level-II and higher

courses:

1. Ability for planning, organizing and coordinating

2. Creative thinking, problem solving and decision making

3. Leadership, delegating, appraising, motivating

4. Negotiation

5. Time management ability

In addition to above, livelihood skills like how to apply for a job, facing an

interview, opening/ operating an bank account may also be covered.

Duration of the Programmes

Time taken to gain the qualification will vary according to the pathway taken and will

be kept very flexible for persons with different backgrounds and experience.

Duration has been prescribed in hours in the curriculum of individual module, which

are based on the content and requirements of a MES Module. However, some

persons may take more time than the prescribed time. They should be provided

reasonable time to complete the course.

Pathways to acquire Qualification:

Access to the qualification could be through:

An approved training programme; Or

A combination of an approved training programme plus recognition of

prior learning including credit transfer; Or

The recognition of prior learning that provides evidence of the

achievement of the competencies for the qualification.

Methodology

The training methods to be used should be appropriate to the development of

competencies. The focus of the programme is on “performing” and not on “Knowing”.


8

Lecturing will be restricted to the minimum necessary and emphasis to be given for

„hands on training‟.

The training methods will be individual centered to make each person a competent

one. Opportunities for individual work will be provided. The learning process will be

continuously monitored and feedback will be provided on individual basis.

Demonstrations using different models, audio visual aids and equipment will be used

intensively.

Instructional Media Packages

In order to maintain quality of training uniformly all over the country, instructional

media packages (IMPs) will be developed by the National Instructional Media

Institute (NIMI), Chennai.

Assessment

DGE&T will appoint assessing bodies to assess the competencies of the trained

persons. The assessing body will be an independent agency, which will not be

involved in conducting the training programmes. This, in turn, will ensure quality of

training and credibility of the scheme. Keeping in view the target of providing

training/testing of one million persons through out the country and to avoid

monopoly, more than one assessing bodies will be appointed for a sector or an area.

Certificate

Successful persons will be awarded certificates issued by National Council for

Vocational Training (NCVT).
